2-Jun-22

The Bible Says:

  How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?
    Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
  Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
    Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!
  Yet God my King is from of old,
    working salvation in the midst of the earth.
  You divided the sea by your might;
    you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.
  You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
    you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
  You split open springs and brooks;
    you dried up ever-flowing streams.
  Yours is the day, yours also the night;
    you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.
  You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth;
    you have made summer and winter.
  Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs,
    and a foolish people reviles your name.
  Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts;
    do not forget the life of your poor forever.
  Have regard for the covenant,
    for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
  Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame;
    let the poor and needy praise your name.
  Arise, O God, defend your cause;
    remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!
  Do not forget the clamor of your foes,
    the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!

(ESV)

—Psalm 74:10-23

And here is a thought:

by: Ashea West.

b'

Revenge from God is not something to be taken lightly. The psalmist knew that if God unleashed His wrath on Israel’s oppressors, it would mean utter destruction and that is what he was hoping for. At times we get so tired of the stresses of life and the constant pressure we face from the adversary that we want God to rise up and defend our cause. We want God to step in and fight against those who are fighting against us. How do we react when God allows oppression? Are we able to hold on to the promises, knowing that God always delivers?
